Anthropic's Claude powers AI agent that automates 50% of customer support

A CEO successfully built an AI agent using Anthropic's Claude MCP to assist with order status lookups within NetSuite, demonstrating impressive initial functionality. However, the prototype struggled with scalability, exhibiting long response times and issues with varied data formats. A subsequent rebuild by a specialized team addressed these challenges, leading to a robust AI program that now automates about 50% of support requests, significantly reduces response times, and offers substantial cost savings and ROI.
